In an effort to reduce our paper usage, we stopped offering printed copies of our popular Film Notes at our screenings.

Instead, we are encouraging our members to read the Film Notes online. For those who wish to do so, it is still possible to print these pages prior to the film.

Alternatively, if you want to read the notes just before or just after the film, and also minimise your paper consumption, then you can scan the QR code to your phone and then download the webpage.

The Promised Land

15 | Denmark | 2023 | Danish, subtitled | 122 mins

Director: Nikolaj Arcel
In 18th-century Denmark, a poor soldier embarks on an ambitious quest to cultivate unclaimed land. Battling harsh nature and class prejudice, “The Promised Land” is an epic tale of endurance, obsession, and the cost of ambition. Based on a true story, it’s a stirring historical drama.
